I already trade futures and indexes using fiat as margin deposit for leveraged trading. It's legal, low cost and highly liquid.
If I used Bitcoin as security instead, then I would be vulnerable to margin call on my margin, as well as my trading, if fiat/
BTC rate continues down.
As the future markets operate - you go short a future on the nasdaq , or go long on the nasdaq , against other members.
Or are you talking about P2P deal making?
Where would your liquidity come from? Would you not be arbitraged to death?
Sorry if I misunderstand you, I am not trying to be stupid, it comes naturally.
Initially, leveraging will not be available, so you will have to deposit the amount that you invest on the index.
Concerning "P2P deal making" question- all market players will invest via our exchange platform. same as investors do in any futures exchange
This means - order execution will be immediate. meaning there is no "lag-till-confirmation" as is the case with the P2P solutions.
concerning "arbitraged to death" - As the is no arbitrage, this is not a concern
